gonzaiAs to Flash Forward, after last night, I am completing changing my theory as to what people saw in their FFs. They aren't seeing what they're doing in six months; they're seeing what they subconsciously want to be doing/seeing in six months. To wit:
Demetri is terrified of getting married, so he sees...nothing. His fiancee can hardly wait, so she sees an idealized wedding day.
Olivia has a deep seated distrust of Mark, so she sees herself with another man.
The babysitter feels guilty about something, so she sees herself being punished.
The sponsor wants his daughter to be alive, so he sees her found alive.
Wedeck doesn't want to be Washington, so he sees himself doing boring things in LA.
Janis wants a child, so she sees herself pregnant.
The President wants to be a hero, so he sees himself summoned to a crisis.
Clemente wants to be President, so that's what she sees.
Doesn't really account well for people who share FFs, but perhaps people with similar hopes somehow had merged FFs.
OK. I need a nap.
